HEIMAEY (HOME ISLAND)

There is a little island close to the Southern coast of Iceland: its name is Heimaey. Life has beauty and misery on this land, charm, and contradictions: that is what this story wants to reveal. The project is divided into two parts. The first one depicts Heimaey from the outside: its landscapes, streets, houses. In the second part, the human presence is the protagonist.

FIRE REPORT

A human instinctively avoids the unknown. The distance that we keep among ourselves results from the fear of the unknown. Elias Canetti says that exactly in mass person can set free from the fear of the unknown. Andy Winson and his motivational coaching, “The secret of the mind of the rich” promises they make a money magnet from you.
